dtap :: Article Creator Get Your Medicare Vaccinations At The Right Place Or Prepare To Pay When it comes to Medicare, it matters whether you get your vaccinations at a pharmacy or at a ... [+] doctor's office. getty Medicare has a notorious history of not treating vaccinations equally. Here's an example from Ed, one of my clients.

He held the world record for number of years living inside an iron lung. Alexander contracted polio in 1952, at the age of six. His terrified parents brought him to Parkland Hospital in Dallas, where Alexander, paralyzed below the neck, was placed in an iron lung because he could not breathe without one.
